EYE CONTACT

Exposure to fumes, vapors or smoke from thermally degraded product can cause irritation to eyes.

INHALATION

Exposure to vapors, fumes, or smoke from molten material handled in confined areas can produce irritation or respiratory tracts, and possible physical discomfort to sensitive individuals.

INGESTION

This material is essentially inert and non-toxic. Regardless of this, the material should be handled with care and not be ingested or put in the mouth.

SKIN

Skin contact with molten material will cause severe burns.

EYES

Exposure to fumes, vapors or smoke of over heated product can result in irritation to eyes. Direct contact of the molten material will cause eye injury and burns. When handling molten material eye shields must be worn at all times. Should an accident occur, flush eyes with generous amounts of water for al least 15 minutes. Administer prompt first aid measures. Consult your physician.

SKIN

Exposure to fumes, vapors or smoke of over heated product can result in irritation to skin. Direct contact of the molten material will cause injury and burns. For burns apply running water injured area for 15 minutes. Do not attempt to remove any material bonded to the skin. Consult your physician.

INHALATION

Remove individual to a well ventilated area for fresh air and call a physician if respiratory symptoms warrant medical attention.

INGESTION

Material is not acutely toxic by ingestion. If material is ingested, do not induce vomiting. Call a physician.

Will support a flame above flashpoint

Means of extinction - Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or CO_{2 extinguisher. Do not use direct water stream.}

Special procedures- Use water to keep containers cool

SPILLS OR

LEAKS

Handle as a wax. With molten spills, allow the material to solidify and cool. Keep material out of sewers and watercourses by diking or impounding. Recover and place into appropriate containers for recycling or disposal according to prevailing local, state and federal laws.

When kept in molten state, use inert gas blanketing to avoid material degradation. As a solid, avoid contamination by keeping in closed containers

This material will be utilized in molten form. Proper protective splash resistant clothing, thermal gloves, splash resistant shoes, and eye shields must be worn to prevent injury. Use molten material in a well ventilated area. When working in a confined area, use of appropriate respiratory gear is recommended
